No steamer needed. You can use a frying pan 😉
Onsen Manjyu (温泉饅頭) is a very popular gift from Onsen (hot spring). It is a brown soft steamed bun filled with Azuki bean paste. The bun is made with brown sugar so it's color is brown. The very first Onsen Manjyu is said to have originated at Ikaho Onsen in Gunma prefecture. Ikaho Onsen (hot spring) water color is brown, so the Onsen Manjyu color is brown. And now it is spread nationwide.
